Þingvallavatn. A wonderland in the making. Editors Pétur M. Jónasson and Páll Hersteinsson. Graphs Árni Pétursson. Maps Ólafur Valsson and Hans Hansen.
Þingvellir is among the most significant places in the country from a natural history perspective, as it is home to one of the most unique water bodies in the world. Traces of the tectonic plate boundary between Europe and America are nowhere more evident, and east and west meet there in flora and fauna. In this elegant and high-quality book, our leading natural scientists tell about the formation of the area, geology, climate, flora and fauna, as Þingvallavatn and its surroundings are now one of the best-studied ecosystems in the world. Finally, the protection of Þingvellir and Þingvallavatn is discussed. The book is adorned with a large number of photographs, diagrams and maps. (Bókatíðindi 2002).
